The Singing Garden

Using the voice as an instrument, we tune the body in tandem with others. Through activating the breath, voice and ears we deepen our listening and open our sonic chambers. You will be guided through vocal warm ups and improvisations before learning melodies, hockets and rounds! This class is created for people who want to sing in a group, whether you have a musical background or are exploring voice and singing for the first time.

Songs learned are a mixture of original compositions and varied folk music. This workshop is influenced by over 10 years of teaching breath, voice and movement improvisation, choir, work with Olivia Rivière and Lisen Pousette in the growling piece DUNKEL, studies with Isabel Lewis, the influence of Pauline Oliveros and workshops taken with Meredith Monk and her vocal ensemble.
